Description
Genre is orchestral/ambiant. I tried to create something like a Journey type of game vibe. Most of my musical mechanics was to create some kind of atmosphere like the forest is alive and have something dark in it and the goal was to save the forest from it. DAW I used was Nuendo and Reaper.
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
Hero searching his way how to heal the forest. Thats how I imagined briefly with the picture in mind.

I think you describe the visual you envision with the instruments you use very well. Very clean music. I love simple and meaningful musics. The 3rd track, reflects the mystery and excitement very well. You have a good work.
Ah, truly amazing, the textures, the pads and the melodies. Green Voyage gives huge Risk of Rain feels.
I liked your choice of instruments as they really set the scene for the tracks. The tracks are relatively sparse (which helps in not being too busy or complicated) which lends them a sense of ease and calm. Good job.
Really nice ambience. I love Green Voyage especially. Great sense of panic in Crumbling Bridges, together with a very menacing theme. Well polished too with the sound effects in between. What orchestral library did you use? Sounds very professional. Thanks for sharing!
Very nice! I love how different each piece is, without sounding like they're from different games. I really like Gifts especially. It reminds me a bit of Hollow Knight, it's just so thoughtful and quiet. Lovely soundtrack!
Love the vibe here. Really detailed work, and I really liked the chilled-out mood of Green Voyage.
there’s also a touch of early Danny Elfman in the choral bits in Crumbling Bridges, which I really appreciate.
I really like the variance in your sound choices and the different stages and thoughts it bears to mind.
The stages works well with the theme runaway as I feel , we get different paces of running ( jogging, walking and maybe even the occastional sprint).
Favorite out of the four is Trails and Crumbling Bridges
Very nice series of pieces! I love the variety of vibes you created in the album. Each has a compelling view. This is definitely one of the most well-made albums I’ve reviewed.
Great work, I particularly loved Crumbling Bridges as I could definitely picture that scene while listening. Trials is really good too!
Beautifully composed! Crumbling Bridges used a dark chord progression I really like. The bassline in Green Voyage is so pleasant.
Really cool mix of orchestral and electronic elements. It’s a really cool vibe, great job!
I love how epic it sounds and in a refined manner! Very pleasing and present basses contributing to the 'darkness' of the forest, and the balance between acoustic instruments and synths are just graceful. I especially like how you manage to end each track refreshingly!
My favorite track is Trials, I find it conserves an organic character by the fluidity between different elements in spite of a heavy presence of electronic layers.
Great job!
Honestly really great job! The mix of orchestral elements with the overall electronic tone was absolutely nailed. It's actually something I wanted to do for my entry to some extent, but didn't quite get it where I wanted to. The oboes and winds in general where beautifully mixed in the soundscape.
I would say that I felt a bit frustrated by "Trials" as it seemed it was going towards something very interesting near the end but didn't follow through. It could have gone anywhere from that Eb at the end, and I would have loved to see the soundscape get developed a bit more on this one.
All in all, this was a blast to listen through and I'm definitely going to listen to it again. Great job! 👏
Trials - I feel like something dark and sinister has taken its refuge in the forest alright. I quite like the soundscaping in this and really like the use of foley and textures here.
Green Voyage - Beautiful. I feel like I'm platforming my way through a forest and flowers open up into swirls and other geometric patterns as I'm moving by. I like how the baseline gently pushes you forward.
Crumbling Bridges - Oh, I guess the sinister thing has stopped hiding now and we're running away while the world (bridges?) around us is falling apart.
Gifts - The first thing that comes to mind here is ... did we lose? Or did we lose many in the battle? The song makes it feel like winning the game was a pyrrhic victory. This song makes me feel like I did during some of Ori and the Will of the Wisps. And that's a good thing.
Excellent work!
This soundtrack puts me in a beautiful vibe, you very nailed the "put something dark in it"
